100 kms - teams of 4 - 48 hours

 Think you could manage to walk 100km (around 62 miles), primarily through bushlands, with 3 other people, all within 48 hours?  How about 24 hours?

Well the winners of this years Oxfam Trailwalker Sydney managed to do it in just 12 hours and 37 minutes, slightly above the course record of 11 hours 59 minutes.

Trailwalker is an annual event held in a number of cities around the world as a fundraiser for Oxfam. The Sydney event this year is expected to raise around A$2 million dollars.

What's this got to do with Sun? Like many large companies Sun recognises the importance of supporting the community, and as such provides support to staff who want to Volunteer for such events. I managed to spend most of today (Friday) delivering supplies to the checkpoints and assisting with their setup - all with the full support of Sun.
